A great many things have changed in recent decades that create a situation that never before existed. We have an unprecedented level of human population. For the first time in the history of the human race, more people live in cities than in rural settings, which means increased density and increased exposure. We use antibiotics on livestock and most humans take them fairly routinely. When antibiotics were introduced, it was heralded as the end of disease. Now, not that many decades later, we are dealing with super bugs. I have read research on how to effectively reverse antibiotic resistance. I think this is a problem we can find solutions for in terms of societal level changes to reduce this issue. But, for the time being, you are screwed if you get one of these and my big concern is that this may be solved by having enough billions of people die so as to serve as a natural means to reduce population densities and interrupt the path we are on currently. This would majorly suck, even if you are one of the lucky survivors, because it would destroy a lot of things we currently take for granted, among other things.
